First Workshop on Containers 2015 (WoC) - overview
WoC: First International Workshop on Container Technologies and Container Clouds -- 2015
March 9-13, 2015, Tempe, AZ, USA
Inconjunction with IEEE International Conference on Conference on Cloud Engineering (IC2E 2015)
News: See final agenda below...
Lightweight Operating System Containers like Docker are creating storms in the Cloud. They are likely to transform the computing industry as we know in the next few years. This first workshop on container technology and container cloud invites papers and demo’s on fundamentals of containers, their use in various commercial and scientific fields, and on the container deployment and orchestration technologies to enable container cloud platforms. We solicit papers from academia, industry partners and practitioners to join the discuss on containers and to bring their ideas to bridge the gap between containers and what it would take to make them the engines of next generation cloud computing.
Topics of interested include but are not limited to:
- Fundamental issues with Containers
- Operating system extensions to enable flexible containers
- Container Secuirty, Isolation and Performance
- Convergence of fields like HPC, Big Data, and Cloud using Containers
- Containers vs Virtual Machines
- Workloads levearging Containers
- Orchestration Technologies for Containers
- Hardware exploitation for Containers and Containerized Workloads
- New Programming Models Enabled by Containers
- ...
Key Dates:
- Submission Deadline: Jan 15, 2014
- Author Notification: Jan 25, 2014
- Camera-ready Deadline: Feb 1, 2014
Organizers and Program Committee:
- PC Chair: Seetharami R. Seelam, IBM T. J. Watson Research
- Publicity Chair: I-Hsin Chung, IBM T. J. Watson Research

Submissions:
Since this is a rapid evolving field, we are accepting papers and presentations in multiple formats. Perspective authors and presenters can send their proposal as a technical paper, as a 1-2 page abstract, or aset a set presentation slides. We want to make this venue accessible both for academic work as well as for industry participants so we encourage experience reports for presentation. The presentation material will be available on this site during and after the workshop as well as via IEEEExplore. Please send your submissions to sseelam@us.ibm.com. We appreciate your interest in this important field.
